Verifying trigonometric identities by converting to a monomial denominator

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a trigonometric equation by choosing the more complex side to work on. The instructor demonstrates the process of simplifying the right side of the equation using algebraic manipulation and the Pythagorean identity. The goal is to transform the equation into a form that matches the left side, ultimately showing that secant of Y plus tangent of Y equals the given expression. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of strategic simplification and understanding trigonometric identities.
